Blasted Phone App!
 

Added a new grocery list to Out of Milk and the darned phone app
wouldn't sync up with the computer for me. Finally deleted it and
reinstalled. 30 minutes down the drain, but at least all my lists are
sync'd and intact.

You need an app to tell you that you're out of milk? I just look in the
fridge and estimate how long the current supply will last.

'Use it lose it' comes to mind here. I despair of future generations.

I love my computer, but when I'm away from it... I want to be away
from it completely. That includes tablets, tampons, ipads, smart
phones or whatever other crap is out there.

lol nooooo it is just the name of the app:)) I use it too but I use it
directly from the phone ie I don't log into any place or have to sync it to
my computer.

I prefer the good ol' ways. I love those 5X7 pads of white lined
paper. Those are for my lists. I still like real books vs electronic
books too. E-Books for me.

But with your phone you can have it do the math for you.
Enter the container size
Enter the milk level
Enter the daily consumption
or
Enter the number of people in the household
Enter their ages
Do you drink milk in your coffee?
Eat cereal?
Enter today's date
Tap "FINISH"
Read the day you will need milk.

See, simple and far more accurate.

Not if someone decides to make custard. That can throw the whole
thing off. Or a second bowl of cereal.

Insert NO in front of E-books. I like holding an actual book in my

I don't understand why a shopping list on a cell phone would *need* to
sync with the computer. She's not carrying the computer with her to the
store.

Some people find it easier to put things on the computer than to deal
with the tiny keyboards on phones. I have my Google calendar sync'd
between the phone and the computer. If I'm out and making an
appointment, I'll do it on the phone, but if I am calling from home, I
just put it on the desktop.

I use "OI Shopping List" App on my Android phone. It has the ability to
hold several lists for different stores or shopping expeditions.

If I make a paper list, half the time I forget to take it. I always
have my phone with me.

You sound like someone with very little to keep track of.

It's a grocery list that I can access from any device - phone, tablet
or computer. One of them is always in reach. I never leave my phone
at home, so my list is always handy when I decided to stop by the
store on the spur of the moment. I can also keep other lists for
other things on it, not scraps of paper that can get lost or left at
home.

If you don't take advantage of the syncing, you don't need the app.
Just use the Note/text app that came preinstalled with your phone.

I don't use any of those features. I pay by credit card, so I don't
need to carry any cash if I don't want to. I just like being able to
add to the grocery list without scrounging up the same piece of paper
or walking into another room to do it. I have lists for more than one
grocery store and other types of lists too... maybe a dozen in total
now. I just added Whole Foods to it yesterday.

It's more pure amazement than anything else. From what I understand
from past conversations, you even have the Pro version.

I, too, use the app but never sync it. My phone is always, always with me
so no need to access my lists elsewhere. I also still use paper lists on
occasion for bigger shopping trips only because it's faster to write them
out than type them when I have a gazillion things to get. I like using the
app more so than the built in list feature on my phone.

The phone goes with me to the store. I prefer using a larger
keyboard, especially when adding more than one item to a list, so that
means I use the computer. The tablet is often with me in the kitchen
because I'm using a recipe that is either from the internet or from
the recipe folder that's stored on my Google Drive.... which syncs
with my computer too. In fact, all three devices sync. Change
something on one and I've changed it on all of them. I like that!
Funny how non-techie me can understand syncing and the advantages it
has for me better than a lot of old farts here who claim to be more
technologically savvy than I am.

They sync their grocery list with the person who is out doing the
grocery shopping. What's so hard to understand about that concept?

I sure don't claim to be more tech savvy. I simply find it easier to
write a list. I keep the list in a small spiral notebook which is in my
purse (and my purse is always where I can find it). I add to it when I
think of things I want to buy. No typing required. I don't have
electronic devices all over the house. What works for you works for
you, except when it doesn't. Paper and pen will always work. :)

I keep a running shopping list on my desk, I use the blank backs of
junk mail. Also just about every stupidmarket website has a function
where one can check off sale products on their weekly circular and
also products from an index of most every product in the store and
will form a list and let you print it.

For your information, I *did* own a "smartphone" for a while. It had a
touchscreen and full keyboard. I know what they are and I know what
they can do. Even if I *could* get a good signal I don't really see the
point. Yours didn't sync. Boo hoo. I don't have the problems you do.
My brain + pen & paper sync just fine.

Excuse me? Did you pay for it? Is it your business to decide what I buy or
how I use it? I understand you think you are superior in some way but I can
assure you that you are not.

I used to prefer the 3 x 5 unlined pads. Cheap at dollar store.
Unfortunately, a year or so they evidently stopped making them - now only
3 x 5 lined spiral-bound pads. <sigh>

I had no interest in a Kindle until my son gave me one for Christmas
about 3 years ago. I am now addicted to it. Almost everything I like
to read is available for a reasonable price. It is light. I started
looking for a Kindle version of a book that I like and thought I might
reread. Too heavy to hold, 1000+ pages. Haven't seen that book as an
E-Book yet.

My library also has E-Books available for loan.

Go with the 5X8 white lined legal pads and be happy! Walmart sells
them for like $2-3 for a 6-pack of them (50 sheets per pad) and that
lasts a long time! :-)
